Former Defense Secretary Robert Gates, who worked with Biden during the Obama administration, said of him, “I think [Biden’s] been wrong on nearly every major foreign policy and national security issue over the past four decades.” . . .

"There’s reason to believe that Iran used that money to fund its deadly incursions in Syria. In 2018, Donald Trump withdrew from the agreement – something that he was easily able to do because Obama never bothered even trying to get Congress to sign off on the agreement. Trump reimposed sanctions on Iran, which greatly increased that despotic regime’s fragility.
"Joe Biden, though, still thinks that, if we just make nice to Iran, it will be our friend. In some ways, you have to admire a man who still has the naivete of a kindergartener, but that's still not what you want in a potential president of the United States.
"Biden’s latest push to help Iran comes in the form of a formal statement at Medium, in which he says that, because Iran is suffering so badly from COVID-19, America needs to help out. Joe admits, because he has to, that “the Iranian government has failed to respond effectively to this crisis, including lying and concealing the truth from its own people, and it continues to act provocatively in the region. . . .”
"Biden adds, though, that part of Iran’s suffering is Trump’s fault . . ."
